Falling Leaves

Hello! I have been playing with some old patterned papers and found this scrap of a digital paper from All About Autumn digital paper pack that I downloaded from Stamp TV some time ago and printed on a glossy cardstock.  The scrap was just the right size to create a tag.  I stamped a strip of Ivory CS with a leaf from A Year of Leaves and a sentiment from a freebie set both from Gina K Designs.  The leaf was heat embossed with Gold EP and colored with a gold Copics.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  I assembled the tag with layers of Dark Chocolate CS, Metallic Gold Ribbon, and a Gold Gem. All papers and stamps are GKD.

Black and White Design

Hello!  It's a Black and White kind of day so I made this card for a few challenges.  I used  stamp set that I recently won from Happy Little Stampers called Doodled Flowers and I teamed that up with Tattered Lace dies Twilight Labels which I just received in a Blog Candy that I won.  I thought the designs of the dies and stamps combined well.  I used supplies White and Black Card stocks with Versafine Black Onyx ink and a gem to create the card.

Snowflakes of Many Shapes

Welcome!  We are at the end of 2016 and ready for a New Year.  I plan to keep on making cards and made this with some new items that I received as gifts in the magazine Simply Cards & Papercraft.  The bonus included a snowflake die, snowflake embossing folder, and a snowflake stamp set.  I used the EF with a white card stock panel and layered that on a mat of blue CS.  I used 2 of the new stamps on Vellum with Versamark and embossed with Zing Silver EP. Then I cut the die on white CS and placed that on a blue circle.  I assembled all the elements and finished with a gem to complete this winter card.  What fun it is to play with new products!

Crayon Resist with Flowers

Hello! Welcome to my studio.  Today I have been playing with a technique that I have never tried before but it has been around for awhile.  Cat at Stamp TV has challenged us to make a card using Crayon Resist technique so I thought I'd give it a try.   I am sure,as in all things, practice would improve my results.  But any way I am sharing my first try.  And luckily I did have some crayons on hand to use.
You can check out how to do Crayon Resist here.   By the way I heat embossed the sentiment and both edges of the Vellum Strip which I wrapped around the image layer.   And yes my sentiment strip is crooked....I did not notice until I posted this, but think I can fix it. 

Supplies used: Gina K Always Autumn Stamps, Stazon Black Ink, Memento Rose Bud and Dandelion Inks, Versamark, Black EP, Pink Vellum Strip, Glossy White Paper, Yellow, Pink, and Black Cardstocks, Black Gem, Crayon.
